I know some people feel I am rather polarized on this. But after seeing statements about people are going to be militant about not wearing masks ( local neighborhood postings specially ) I wonder, with the local government requirements to wear a mask in public, if someone sneezes near me or someone else within 10 feet, could that be considered assault? Would there be legal recourse?

That kind of thing makes sense to do, especially if you have people that are at high risk. I don't want people within 6 feet of me when they don't need to be anyway, so I'm good with that, and working from home when I can means I can sleep until my phone starts ringing...
But a lot of the stuff I see people doing is just way overboard. We can 
probably do 95% of what we do with out any real risk of exposing anyone 
to anything.

    We asked all the guys to try to do the 6 foot thing.
    Logging temps with an IR thermometer each morning and posting them

    None of this is expensive or onerous or an overreaction and will

    I don’t want them to bring it back to me.  Everyone at my place is
    much younger than my wife and myself.  Silly for those in a
    particular age demographic to not be as careful as they can.  I also
    wear my seat belt, don’t smoke and try to keep my blood sugar and
    blood pressure low.  To me this is just more of the same.

    We changed nothing. No distancing, no work from home, no masks, no
    gloves. The only thing we are sick of is all the talk of covid.
    Workers comp covers this kind of thing and your ERA is based on the
    total experience of like industries which presumably would
    experience similar sickness rates.
    Don't let the fear of liability stop you from doing anything
    productive.

        temperature is taken and logged each morning.
        If someone gets sick, who gave it to them and who gave it to
        that person.  If you want to attempt to assign liability it
        would as difficult as doing slavery reparations in a fair manner.

            How are you all addressing the liability if either your
            tech gets someone sick (and they die), or someone gets
            your tech sick (and now you have a potential OSHA issue
